I am worried about losing my job, what can I do?

1st of all -you need to rationalise how much your worries can be actual threats of you losing job.. f.e. is it more because of what we hear in massmedia or is it really because your company is going through workforce reduction. Also you need to think if you can influence the situation anyhow - is addressing the question directly with your manager going to give you a clear answer or maybe he/she does not even know... Then you need to think about your past performance - have you been recognised for being an asset to your organisation before or maybe you're struggling with in your current role... If you're struggling - maybe the asnwer is that this is not the right job for you. If you're peforming great but still you are at risk of losing job, then you need to rationalise that this is something you can merely influence in terms of risk reduction...that you've done your bit already. What you can do however is try to think of you and your greatest strenghts, things that you accomplished, things you're proud of and how relevant they can be to other jobs on the market.. It is sometimes good to go to some job interviews to test yourself and see how confident you can be or if you would be able to re-apply if the situation requires it. It's good to start thinking up a network of people that you can contact to maximise your chances on the job-market (could be external or internal to your current company)...

Do the best you can do, and be prepared that it might be a possibility, and if your comfortable ask your boss what's the status of your job.

Keep up your good and work as hard as you can to show your boss that you shouldn't be sacked and that you can help the place your work a lot.

Talk with your supervisors or managers about your job performance. Ask them for ways to improve or be a better worker.

You should voice your concerns to your manager. Do you have any actual evidence that you're going to lose your job? If you think you're going to lose your job because you turn up late, make an effort to turn up extra early. If you don't contribute very much, make an effort to speak up.

Before worrying about losing your job, make a plan for Plan B! Think about your future and the career you are going to do next time! And if you ever lose your job, don't be sad about it! It means making changes in your life! Move on and find another career because there are loads of it. Just stay happy and positive! :)

If you are worried about losing your job, you should do what you can to reduce your stress levels and remain calm, cool and collected on the job! Also, feel free to ask your coworkers and boss how you are doing on the job! If you will be fired or given a warning, they would know.

First take a step back and look at your situation from an outside view. Look at both the internal and external factors that may cause job loss. You need to find out what factors you can control and what changes you can personally make. Outline negative factors like bad habits, falling into a rut or being to consistent. Find positives, make yourself more valuable at work, be eager to learn new skills/job aspects. Most companies have an open door policy that allows you to talk to your immediate manager, supervisor or a human resource personnel. It is their job to provide job feedback, evaluation and potential discipline.
